Hello LGs, to the unexpected exceptional guests from all over the world,

What an incredible day at the Mega Meet-Up! :tada: It all started right after the first Delhi Mega Meet-up on July 29th,2025, when a thought was ignited by @TusharSuradkar, @TravellerG, and we quickly jumped in to help with this Mega meet-up. Later, we included @Kumaarsantosh, @PrasadVR, and @AjitThite in the team because of their experience and valuable outputs throughout the meet-up preparations.
A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for an energy-packed day, complete with a great Meet & Greet, insightful Knowledge Sharing sessions, and an inspiring talk with Googler @Latika_Malhotra, Malini, Mohmmad Sohail, and Emily! The agenda was well thought out, and it was a day full of connection and learning.

For introductions, we started with a classic icebreaker, but added a compelling twist: Find the 5 unique, untold qualities of the person sitting next to you, and introduce them. The group loved the challenge—it sparked fantastic interaction and allowed us all to highlight the truly unique aspects of our fellow Local Guides!

The food was a highlight! A huge shoutout to SRIVARI BHIMAS for providing an absolutely delicious traditional South Indian meal. It was courteously served on a banana leaf, a beautiful gesture representing sustainability. It was wonderful to see everyone, including the staff from Srivari Bhimas, eating together—ensuring absolutely no food went to waste!

Furthermore, the venue was a perfect example of accessibility, featuring lift access, an inclusive washroom, and ample space for the event.

Everything was exceptionally well-managed by @aditya.kalkur and the rest of the incredible organizing team. And a special thanks to @TusharSuradkar for this beautiful gesture of bringing everyone from all over the world onto one stage to meet and greet!

We captured some fantastic memories, including the official Group Photo!

Last but not least, we got a couple of stickers, bookmarks, and @TravellerG gifted stainless steel mugs to everyone in a sustainable, eco-friendly carry bag.

Great, dear @ShreyaMusings …
Well conceived with quality contents…
The photos are also very appealing…:ok_hand:

However, for your kind information, a Mega Meetup in Bangalore was conceived by @TusharSuradkar on March 9th, during the 1st Mega Meetup in Bangalore.

Of course, our @aditya.kalkur made the major difference by bringing in Srivani Bhimma… excellent location suitable for Airport and Railway… Food also was excellent…

Of course, every one in our Core Team contributed… thanks to all.

Specially admire your enthusiasm and hard work. Your dedication and zeal was one of the main reasons of the success this Mega Event.

Including the Googlers, we were 72 LGs and 70 people had lunch! Amazing.
God’s grace everything went well.
God bless you…
With sincere regards and gratitude,
:folded_hands:
